The crown prince's favorite girl, she found another good match

Chapter 184 Royal Secrets! !
She is not an obedient person. Although she responded obediently just now, her heart was very lively.

She always felt that Zhao Yi was hiding something from her, and he looked a little strange when he came out.

So she wanted to follow him secretly to see what he was going to do.

Quietly following the small flowers beside the palace, following Zhao Yi's footsteps, I found that he had returned to the main hall where he had just been.

The nun next to Queen Zhou was guarding the entrance of the palace. When she saw Zhao Yi coming, she came over and said, "Your Highness, the empress is waiting for you inside."

Zhao Yi nodded and walked in.

There was no expression on his face, as if he had known she would be waiting for him here. His phoenix eyes were half-closed, and his slender white hands were playing with a sky-blue carp jade pendant. The jade pendant was made of mutton-fat jade, with a fish tail. A halo of blood spread from the inside of the jade, making the fish suddenly come to life.

Seeing him entering, Li Baojia thought for a while, walked around the side of the house, and arrived at a window next to the main hall. Seeing that there was no one guarding here, she bent down and quietly put her ear against the window paper.

He didn't listen to a few words but felt it was not enough. He reached out a little arrogantly and poked another hole in the paper window paper, watching and listening at the same time.

From this position, you can have a good view of the scene inside the room. It is on the side of the main seat. Queen Zhou is sitting on it and Zhao Yi is sitting next to it.

He picked up the tea on the table, skimmed off the foam with the lid of the tea bowl, and took a quiet sip of tea.

Empress Zhou got straight to the point: "When did you release the Zhou family members?"

Zhao Yi stood up. The white cranes and fishes on his sleeves rippled with the movement of his hands, and the golden threads shone with scales. His eyes were strange, like pity, or something else: "The Zhou family committed a crime." It is not an exaggeration to punish the Nine Clans."

"All the branches of the Zhou family in the south of the Yangtze River have been killed. In consideration of the Zhou family's original contribution to the dragon and the leadership of Zhou Ji in the north and south, the Zhou family was sent to the north and will never be able to return to the capital."

His tone was calm, as if it wasn't just a few words that determined the Zhou family's life or death.

Queen Zhou stood up suddenly and stared at him: "What did you say? Do you want to exile the Zhou family?"

"You, you unfilial son! You forgot that half of the Zhou family's blood is left in you! So what does the Jiangnan branch do have to do with the Zhou family in the capital?"

She snorted coldly: "The siege of the city failed, so why do you insist on it? In the end, some people died, but the city was not broken yet? Why are you making such a fuss! I think you are doing it with your own intentions. The palace is against you!"

Zhao Yi was almost pointed at his nose and scolded, and the queen almost said "You are a white-eyed wolf" on her face, but he didn't move at all, as if she was not talking about him.

He stood a little further away, patted his sleeves and said slowly: "How many people died? Is this how the mother sees this rebellion? Do you think that those who died are civilians, not living human lives?"

"They also have wives and children. They are the people of Dazhao! They are the people of Gu. When they are in Dazhao, Gu has the obligation to protect them. As the mother of the country, you actually think this is an insignificant matter?"

"It is precisely because the siege failed, otherwise what is here now is not alone. What is waiting for you is Yelu's cavalry, broken mountains and rivers, endless wailing, corpses all over the mountains and plains, blood and nightmare!"

A sneer curled up at the corner of his lips, and his sharp phoenix eyes looked straight at the queen. Li Baojia, who was lying outside the window, was startled.

Ever since she woke up from amnesia, she had never seen him look so sharp and sharp. He was as unstoppable as a cold sword unsheathed. It made people afraid to look directly into his eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

Queen Zhou's voice became softer when he spoke, but she still suppressed her anger and said: "Do you know what you are doing? So what if the Zhou family is at fault? Don't forget that the Zhou family is your maternal grandfather's family. Only they will support you unconditionally and help you rise to the top. What good will this do to you?"

He suddenly laughed, sat down next to the rosewood chair, and took out a roll of paper from his sleeve.

He slowly unfolded it, and she suddenly had some bad premonitions.

He lowered his eyes and read without emotion: "In the tenth year of Zhengde, the second wife of the Zhou family forcibly defiled the eldest daughter of Zhang Ming, the imperial censor Guanglu. She was already three months pregnant at that time. Afterwards, she hit a pillar and died. Zhang Ming After filing the imperial complaint, the Zhou family was in great power and nothing could be done about it. Mr. Zhang lived in poverty all his life, resigned from office, and returned to his fields. The Zhou family was still dissatisfied and cut off their livelihood. The family starved to death in the years of prosperity."

"In the same year, the Zhou clan robbed the orphan girl Li's property in the capital and forced her into the mansion regardless of her will. The fields and ancestral home were all under her name. They did not treat her kindly. However, in just a few months in the Zhou family, she He was tortured to death.”

"The 11th year of Zhengde..."

"Stop talking!" Queen Zhou shouted sternly, her voice trembling, her chest rising and falling with anger.

Zhao Yi threw the long piece of paper at her feet: "Why don't you take a look at it for yourself? Why has the Zhou family done more than these things for so many years?"

"These are the imperial petitions that have been filed over the years. In the past three years alone, there have been more than [-] petitions. You should know the process of filing imperial petitions. When ordinary people file imperial petitions, they have to go through a mountain of knives, cut out the flesh, and use a cone. It’s bone-chilling, but even so, the charges are still piling up!”

He didn't look at her, but seemed to calmly explain some facts: "The Zhou family has relied on you to do good and dominate outside for so many years, and now it's time to pay back."

"The aristocratic family merged the land, and there has been a long history of disadvantages. The farmers have nothing to harvest, the aristocratic family invaded wantonly, abandoned it at will, the treasury is becoming increasingly empty, and the tax revenue is decreasing year by year. Especially in recent years, it is often heard that the family has been bankrupt and their children are sold. , especially those whose families are broken and dead. If things go on like this, Dazhao is weak and difficult to cure, and the country is not a country."

Queen Zhou slumped in her chair. She still couldn't believe that the Zhou family, which had been entrenched in Zhao for hundreds of years like a behemoth, was about to fall.

She shook her head and said: "Impossible. If it weren't for the Zhou family, how could you be sitting in this position? If you want to burn bridges, you have to ask me first if I agree!"

"I gave birth to you and raised you..."

Her words stopped when she saw Zhao Yi took out a Pisces jade pendant, her eyes were wide open to the extreme, as if she was about to jump out of those fragile eye sockets, she seemed to lose her voice in horror.

"you you you………"

Zhao Yi came over and leaned down, whispering like a devil: "I almost forgot to mention one more thing. The Zhou family changed their bloodline to the royal family, confused the public, and poisoned the imperial concubine. Do you still think that the Zhou family's exile was a harsh sentence?"

Li Baojia outside covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from screaming. She was just eavesdropping out of curiosity, but ended up hearing such a royal secret!
